So I finally gave in and headed back to Visual Studio's 2012 and this is what it gives me as a welcome home present.

Now the first and second errors are referring to line number 4 in my main.cpp file which looks like this.
As you can see I don't know how the heck the compiler is thinking WinMain is returning type TileEngine... And don't even get me started on the 'TileEngine' followed by 'int' is a illegal error ;p.
The other error in there is saying that my constructor for the class has a return type but yet when I go to the definition and declarition I see this
1 2 3 4 5 6
class TileEngine
{
public:
TileEngine();
~TileEngine();
//....
I have no clue what to make of these errors. Is Visual Studios just telling me that it doesn't like me and I should quit using it again? Or am I just so tired that I am missing something stupid? Anyways was wondering what you guys think or if you guys see anything that I am missing.
Nope that was there, but I have managed to get it fixed. Just did a full re-install of Visual Studio's since when I tested the code in Code::blocks it worked just fine, and after the re-install it now compiles. So I don't know what went wrong there but I'm just going to write it down as a glitch in the compiler lol.
